Krista & Andy are Married…and the rain was NOT even a factor!

The day that Krista and Andy were married it rained.  I don’t even mean the kind of rain that comes for a little while and then dries up…this was a bonafide soaker!  They had originally planned to have their wedding outside at the Planter’s Club, in Suffolk Virginia, overlooking the Nansemond River.  But that pesky rain changed everything.  Krista made a last minute decision to keep it inside, where everyone would stay nice and dry!  This did not change the way that her Fiance Andy felt about this day.  He was overcome with emotion when he laid eyes on his beautiful Bride.  Andy later said, “I have been to war 3 times, broke my leg in West Africa, and never cried once…but today…I am just so HAPPY!!”  Everyone had a blast and no one minded the rain one bit.  And Krista, the bravest Bride EVER, even let me take her out in it for a rain shot!  Congratulations you two!  Here’s to a lifetime of happiness!!  XOXO!
